To cite a real case, there is a small brother to do the tidal brand shopping, with the British IP registered local second-hand trading platform account, the result is that the exposure of goods directly increased by three times. There is a doorway here--Platform algorithms trust the operational behavior of local IPs moreThe
For example, if you are doing social media operations, it is not easy to recognize anomalies with a UK IP.

The three pits of choosing a UK proxy IP, a must-see for newbies
Last year, a friend of an independent station stepped on a big mine, greedy cheap to buy a proxy service, the results just run two days crawler was blocked IP. later with ipipgo's UK dedicated IP to solve the problem, here summarize a few pit avoidance points:
1. Don't just look at the number of IPsSome merchants claim to have millions of IP pools, but the actual availability is less than 10%. ipipgo's UK IP pools are labeled 500,000+, but each IP has been verified by the carrier!
2. Note the IP typeData center IP is easy to be recognized, so it is recommended to choose residential IP for long-term business. ipipgo's residential IP supports automatic replacement, which is suitable for the scenario that requires long-term stable login.
3. Protocol support is important: Many newbies don't know the difference between http and socks5 protocols. Do browser business with http enough, but involving APP or game business must choose to support socks5. Here is a configuration example:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@uk.ipipgo.pro:3128',
'https': 'http://user:pass@uk.ipipgo.pro:3128'
}
response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies)
